Mazorca - Kingston

We dined as a couple mid week and there were only two other tables occupied. The room is a large "barn" of a place, and the decor has not changed since the two previous restaurant tenants.The food on the other hand was quite good: the cerviche, the tamales etc. were quite authentic with good service and very good value.I am sure that on a busier night when there is more "buzz", especially in the party season this restaurant will be a hit!

We went with 9 friends for dinner. After already waiting for 45 min for our entree tapas, they told us that some of the tapas were not available as incidents were missing. Lemonade was also not available, so the drivers were limited to water. Pizza was the only dish which was delivered in a reasonable time frame and tasted good. All other food took 1 hour. 5 people ordered Chicken / Chorizo Paella. The portion size was very small and except of oily rice was not really much on the plate. We shared roughly 1 dry chicken breast and half a chorizo between the 5 of us The waitress was apologetic about the lame service, but that didn't help us get over paying top dollar for below average food.

Food all bland. Service was the worst we experienced in literally years. Apologies were lame. Pizza that came out 25 minutes after everyone else was finished eating looked good but not enough to redeem the experience.

Great ambience, delicious food, and good vibe. We had a great night there with friends and really enjoyed ourselves.

This is a new restaurant serving delicious food and drinks from South America. They have famously served home-cooked authentic Latin American treats at Canberra's Gorman House markets, and have been so popular that they have opened this large, airy and welcoming restaurant in Kingston, family owned and run. Delightful staff with very attentive service. We chose tapas-style dishes: the fish ceviche was outstanding, as was the house-made chorizo, rellenos delicious too but unfortunately the papusas were not available so we had a nice plate of crumbed calamari. My husband tried a traditional refreshing rice milk/mocha drink and my Argentinian red wine was excellent. Desserts are limited but very tasty. Not cheap but we were very happy with $77 for 4 satisfying tapas, 2 desserts and 2 drinks. We'll be back to try the main course dishes. A shame that on a saturday night it was not busy, while the very average neighbouring establishments were full!
